The Music Hall of Williamsburg (66 N. 6th Street) has a new owner.
While the venue recently cited a lease termination as the reason for closure, Crain’s New York Business now reveals additional details.
“In a transaction not widely known at the time, prolific Williamsburg developer Michael Weitzman in December snapped up the 10,000-square-foot structure at 66 N. Sixth St. for $14 million, according to a deed that appeared in the city register Friday,” the outlet reports.
The deal between Weitzman, the CEO of Double U Development, and previous owners Asana Partners had been in the works since September.
The Weitzman name might sound familiar to frequent Greenpointers readers. Double U Development owns several local properties, including a Kent Street apartment building. In 2024, tenants told us that the management company had put their safety at risk during construction and neglected basic maintenance concerns.
Double U also recently purchased the landmarked Polonaise Terrace and is developing it into a 35 unit mixed-use building.
What’s next for the space remains unclear, but we will keep you posted when we learn more!
They have the money for this but not for their tenants. They will turn this into another eyesore.
